High-Flying Home Evening

We've had such windy weather lately, we decided that for Family Home Evening we would fly our kites. The kids looked forward to it for several days beforehand. I was secretly worried that the wind would fizzle out on us, but it blustered all evening. As soon as Dad came home from work, we grabbed our kites and headed to the park behind our house.



Unfortunately, all three of our kites broke within the first fifteen minutes. (I guess you get what you pay for when you spend a buck a piece on kites). But Kyler was undaunted. He must have run twenty laps around the park, dragging just a few feet of string and a kite which occasionally bounced up and caught some air.


THAT'S determination!
Eventually the activity turned into a game of family tag on the playground, and that was fun, too.

ooo..I only spent a buck on Lindsey's kite too...I guess we should head to the park with a roll of duck tape when we finally get around to bringing it out.
